The Media

It’s the media
causing mass hysteria in all areas
They all carriers of false information
and barriers to true emancipation
and its scarier when you’re aware
how they’re connected to corporation

Now who’s the real terrorist
I wanna pose some evidence
facts that are relevant
incase you missed history cause of television
here to perform an exorcist
after seeing satan’s horns peeking through the wreckage mist
I hope you can handle this
especially if you sitting home with the candles lit
zoning out on channel shit
for its an obsession
which controls you perceptions
it molds your conception
it holds your mind hostage for your soul
for the know it’s some kind of weapon
that could be lethal
heal blind and free people
if you the knew the truth you could teach youth
and expose them to all the evils
so we could see through
to raise the feeble
to realize they’re regal
understand what it means to be able walk through the eyes of needles
eradicate riddles
come to terms with God then collide with these devils
never play the middle
cause then it’ll be at a level
where things will never get settled
so my foots on the pedal
I’m gripping metal
dipping on several
whose mentals’ are rentals
no matter how much we show you what we went through
you choose to neglect the essentials
make moves but with only respect to presidentials
We Projected the Blues to take you to the door of consciousness
But you never stepped through
What kept you?
Thoughts are still unreal and too sensual
For you refuse to deal with fundamentals
so this streets news with complete views that we resent you
we’ll repeat tools to increase pool of our people potential
we’ll organize coups
decolonize schools
and baptize the hypnotized so they realize they have eyes
for their own views
so fuck the news and bring it on -
“cause Viacom don’t want to stop the war or stop the bombs
My people uninformed is the worst way for us to be unarmed
Shit – They don’t want us to remain calm
They want paranoia to set in
So they could lock us down
to the point that we’re kept in
Don’t you see the conservative backlash we find ourselves in?
People wave flags
subconsciously forgiving anyone who made it bad for us in the past
now that shit is sad
people have gone mad beyond crazy
Cause now they love Guliani
Can’t get enough of Pataki
They hug politician and snug with their lackeys
What the fuck can someone smack me!
Shit can’t be
It seems many have forgotten about police brutality
And the fight to end racial profiling is a thing of history
And the plight for Vieques island is missing and considered a mystery
Why can’t they see
that shit like that will only bring them more misery?
But they won’t listen to me
They won’t listen to me
‘Cause it’s the media
causing mass hysteria in all areas
They’re all carriers of false information
all barriers to true emancipation
and its scarier when you’re aware
how they’re connected to corporation
So turn off your TVs
Don’t believe their news
Don’t read their views
They’ll keep you confused
Forget how to tie shoes
Talk about pulling yourself by your used bootstraps
Now who’s strapped
food strapped
Some how accused and trapped?
People in Vieques abused cause they’re brown and black
Just like down in Afghanistan and in Iraq
It’s a part of their plan of world domination
Control the land, its resources and set up corporations
So if there wasn’t oil in the Middle East
Would there be a reason for war – a reason to declare peace?
Would the Israelis be able to occupy the Bethlehem streets
If they weren’t backed from the beginning by the US hell fire heat?
Can we speak?
Did you peep
how America boguarded Mecca making the call for a Jihad complete?
Lets get deep
and make leaps
into parts of history that they don’t want to leak
What Is-real? Which is fake? Take a peak
Would this country come to the aid a fellow corrupt state like Kuwait
if they only grew wheat?
Don’t sleep
Cause what you’ll reap
Would be what someone else sowed
so no matter what grows you’ll have that to keep
And did you see
How America now talked meek
and court sweet
for a confrontation with Pakistan they don’t seek?
Cause these sheiks hold heat
could shake with nuclear hands when they do greet
and how an Islamic fleet could bring Babylon to its eventual defeat
making prophecy complete
at the same time smashing the riddle of the beast
as the answer lies in why chopped off the black features to the sphinx
the same reason they want you think
Africa and Middle East aren’t linked
stealing the Pyramids Gyza right from under your feat in a blink
as Elizabeth Taylor winks
for she knows that the stolen legacies are closer complete
but the drum beat
that runs deep
on these streets
have been intercepted by hums of guns from rising slums in the east
for we’re all connected
yet a bit demented
ever since when these Jinns came with their aggression
the Nile didn’t flow down
But somehow geography has been infested
with pornography making history more easy to be molested
Plans were perfected
Instead of Communism we have another ideology to be detested
That’s how they keep your interest invested
air waves projected views that people accepted
I aint lying
We need to free Palestine and bless it
What – you’re blind
You lost your mind
Can’t you see denying self-determination is a deadly crime?
And don’t forget Puerto Rico cause its mine!
As the sun was born shine heavily on my soul
Away from the cold
Something you stole
Like the black Gold
For which you bombed Iraq
People armed with just the Quaron and Islam intact
you said your war was just for Saddam but in fact
You blew up hospitals, schools, sewage treatment centers and water supplies
Adding sanctions
Making it possible every month for 5 thousand children to die
So let it echo
as we will continue
to deliver the street news directly to the ghetto
As Satan perches right there on the church’s steeple
the media is filming but they won’t show the people
For their plans are to keep you
and your mind in a fetal stage
and leave you in a daze
engaged in a maze
as you find your mind stays forever afraid
forever afraid
For it’s the media
causing mass hysteria in all areas
They’re all carriers of false information
all barriers to true emancipation
and its scarier when you’re aware
how they’re connected to corporation
